They finally iterated on PTR. What a day.

I just can't understand blizzard. They made no chances to Bastion after being told over and over that he was OP in the PTR. But now they back off and revert their changes after, like, a day.
Blizzard: Hey guys, guess what? You know now Ana's ridiculously OP with that healing nade? Well, we just fixed that.
Fanbase: Oh, cool, it seems a bit much but mayb-
Blizzard: OKAY, OKAY, PLEASE CALM DOWN, WE'RE REVERTING IT, GAWD
Never thought this would happen too. What a time to be alive.
Discord through barrier was way too OP, but Zen's weapon spread was pretty much a non-issue if you ask me. It's super easy for a defending Zen to land all 5 M2 balls on a Widow sniping from the top of the spawn point of Kings row point A.
Ana
I still think a light Nerf to nade recharge or dart range is not uncalled for, but this approach may work with current Mercy and Buffed Zen.
Ana can no longer be on Widow/Pharah duty. That immediately legitimizes Zen. Plus Mercy is actually really good right now with that crazy invuln.
Ana will still have a harder time with flankers, but she won't be completely relying on sleep dart.

I actually just lost the most hilarious competitive game I've ever had.
Play on Gibraltar. Run the single worst offense I've ever seen because we have a trio of... just really, really bad players. No clue what they are doing, honestly. Barely get the cart under the camel hump.
We end up on defense. Our triple que of all tank players have chosen their tanks of choice, again. I'm a little annoyed, but I've had plenty of games where the enemy team shits the bed just as much on offense so I wasn't too worried. Just to clarify with my team though, I say "Just remember, goal of the first area is to get a little ult charge and ping damage before falling back to server room." Enemy team runs Bastion. Our Rein waits until the get to the corner before trying to charge off high ground, head first into a Bastion. Dies. Rest of the tanks jump in - they die. Lose the game. But it was one of those "So dumb you have to laugh" moments so that took some of the sting out of it.
I mean, I literally just told them not to do what they did.

Okay, I'm doing my warmups before heading in to placements right now if anyone is interested. Really working on my ability to coordinate and fight above and beyond what I've been able to do in the past.

I am referring to the spread changes. With Ana no longer a threat to Pharah, Zen is going to have to pick up the slack.

Sombra's hacked health packs being visible through walls to teammates is what I've been hoping for. Gonna be a huge, hopefully great patch when all of this hits console.
Probably no ones. They've said it's hard to gain data before because of the PTR population, but apparently got enough this time to decide it was a change worth reverting after like 2(?) days.
Like I don't care at this point. This character has been dominating the game for months, Zen and Mercy have been moved to very niche roles because Ana just eclipses them. Really should have just let the nerf go through and fix whatever they needed to in another patch. Bastion was OP for like 5 days, Ana has been OP since August.
And then you've got Lucio...
as long as healing reduction goes to 50% thats all I care about. The anti-fun grenade can go to hell
I was hoping you would switch so we could at least take that checkpoint tbh. Stacks are always sweaty.
Which is why LiK should play on PC.ahh I didn't know, forgot your micless too, so I never know how to interpret what you want
They have done this numerous times before though. Only this time they've done it without really giving us time to test.
And the Ana nerfs "apparently" made her unplayable, according to the trustworthy, open-minded users on the b.net forums.

Forget what I've said about NA teams being better than people are giving them credit for after that last game in the Carbon series. All hail our Korean overlords.

Games were fun tonight when we had a 6-stack. Had to stop using mic half-way since it was getting late in here.
I really wish they leave Ana the way she is in live. Nerfing her means more Mercy play, which sucks because imo resurrection is absolutely the worst mechanic in the game. Mercy is already in 90% of my games and I am sick of it.
Whether she is on the enemy team and gets her 5 man rez, or she is on our team and dies before rez-ing, it always leaves me SALTY.

during our stack, we kept getting some godly tracer on the other team. the harass was real D:
i did return their favor against the ana tho lol
out of curiousty i was checking what sr they was. seems like the games are putting us on low diamond and occasionally a master/gm comes in lol

I just noticed that change. Wow.
As long as she can heal from range, AE Heal, and Sleep. She will be used still. She could be damage-less, but her support kit is the best with Zen's.

I'm not sure I can play this game anymore unless I can find a good/reliable dps to group up with. I just can't do everything as Reinhardt and its frustrating as hell.
just tired of joining games where the other pharah is fucking invincible, or mercy gets ignored until we wipe them and she rezzes them. its literally the same shit over and over.

"We don't want to swing her balance too wildly within a single patch."
hmm... i can name like 3 other heros but whatever.
